I've just got the Cd Remaster of this album, and thought I'd put them in order of my favourites, as some others have already done:-
1. The Court of The Crimson King - brilliant, brilliant track and easily best on the album
2. I Talk To The Wind - gorgeous mellow tune, influential too, love it
3. 21st Century Schizoid Man - I especially love the extremely influential instrumental section
4. Epitaph - very nice song
5. Moonchild - nice start then a load of nonsense really
Essential album, and the remaster (compared to my old vinyl) sounds really great.

21st Century Schizoid Man with Moon Child a close second. I like all the "noodling" on Moon Child and the jazzy elements of Schizoid.

The title track is my favourite from this somewhat overrated album. Epitaph is a good second.

21st Century for me.
This is one of my least favorite KC albums, believe it or not.

I don't enjoy KC as many Prog fans do, except for Lizard and Islands which I love. Though from this album I can take a good bunch of dosis of 21st Century Schizoid Man.

Epitaph is the only track I can now listen to. The rest are just SO dated.

My god Epitaph is just unbelievable! Strange that so many would consider it the weakest on the album...

Title track for me, followed by 21st century.
In my Top 10 all time albums.

this was done not long ago. It still has to be the definitive title cut for me, but strong arguments exist for 3 other songs, and an entertainable argument for Moonchild. GREAT album and one of the few generally regarded masterpieces of the big prog groups that I actually agree with.

Probably Epitaph, but I love the whole album.

Yes, I think I'm going to vote for it actually, as it's just as perfect as the rest.

^ I always try to pay attention Robert! 
I have to say that KC have never fully done it for me and I've actually not got any of theirs on cd at the moment. Infamy, I hear the cry. This is a great album though, and I am presently awaiting the delivery of it on cd to replace my old (and worn!) vinyl copy. I loved the first two KC albums, but just could not get to grips with the later stuff. I remember hearing Discipline when a student some years ago and it just left me totally cold.
From the reviews I am sure I will love Islands and am hoping Santa will have it in his sack in about 3 weeks time.
Incidentally, sorry for going off on one - on a bit of a Tangent  .
